Although there are Many great song on this 2 disc set... For it to be called the "Ultimate collection" is a severe miscalculation. This CD is put out by Tooth and Nail Records and it does not contain songs from any albums or EPs put out on other labels, Including "Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo" and "The Ever Passing Moment" which in my opinion are the band's 2 best albums.
I have given this album 3 stars because it is a good deal to get so many songs for such a cheap price and the songs are really good... but if you are wanting the BEST you are better of buying "Ten Years And Running" MxPx's greatest hits album.
And there is an unreleased song which pretty much will guarantee a fan like me will buy this album, but if I want to take myself back to the days when I first fell in love with this music I will simply play one of the old albums... because every album is great start to finish, unlike a lot of pop bunk bands that sold entire albums based on the popularity of one or two songs...
all in all this CD seems more like a record company trying to milk as much money out of the fans of a truly great band... much like when they released "Let It Happen". MxPx will not let you down, so invest in the full albums.
